Ok so...I have the flu(no clue what kind as...according to the walk-in clinic doctor: I won't test you because we know it's out there; even after I told him I have hypothyroidism and a severe abscess and I live with someone on immunosuppressent meds)

Anyway I woke up last night sweating, hopefully my fever was breaking a bit, but I was reallly nasueous but all that happened was I kept hic-burping like I do if I eat a food that doesn't digest well....and I pretty much haven't ate anything for the last two days as my appetite is nonexistent. Anyone else had the flu with the band?

bc, that's the PITS. I have a raging cold now (although, I don't think it's worse because of my band, but the wet cough has kicked in, so we'll see), and a cold is no comparison to the flu. I've only had the flu once in my life, and that was enough to make me a believer in the flu shot. I have read several instances where with the H1N1 flu people have experienced vomiting, which makes me even more worried about this particular strain of flu with the band. I wonder if your surgeon could call in something for you for the nausea.

I hope you're over the worst of it now and are feeling better very soon!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
